    SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 is a solid release for wrestling fans to enjoy, but for the casual gamer thinking about purchasing a new copy, it would probably be better advised to wait to find a used copy or to save the extra dough and get a cheap copy of 2008.

    In the end, if you are reading this review, you’re probably curious about the game because you’re a fan of the website. If you like Homestar Runner and Strong Bad and the Cheat and so on and so forth, there is no reason why you should not get this game. You’ll love it, trust me.

    Comfortable in its tried-and-true play style, it changes little from its predecessors. Basically, it is a way to breathe new life into an old (though still popular) franchise, and a way for addicts of the originals to take their drug of choice with them on the road.

    The game itself doesn’t offer anything more than what you get from the paper card game. But with Dawn Of Destiny, you don’t have to spend the cash that it would take to acquire the over 1,000 cards available in the game by hitting up your local card shop.

    Bomberman Jetters has its faults. Bad voice acting, dated graphics and a preternaturally challenging multiplayer AI all detract from the general experience it provides. However, they aren't enough to kill its charm, well-tuned gameplay and multiplayer allure.

    Battle Nexus isn't quite as fun as past games or even as fun as the show itself, but it is pretty solid game overall, and is worth picking up for old times sake, or for the new fan.

    A lot of fun - that is if deathmatch stye gaming is your bag. Obviously, those looking for any semblance of a story should look elsewhere.

    The game's simplicity combined with relatively open exploration makes it a decent purchase for younger fans of the show and should provide many hours of nonviolent entertainment (unless you count the scene where a monkey goes flying into a wall at terminal velocity - but I digress).

    It’s a learning adventure geared towards young children. If you’re a parent looking for a game to entertain and teach you child something this is the game for you.

    It’s definitely not the best game on the NCAA court, but it is worthy of a second look.

    Finally, adding some longevity to the game, Under Siege includes a fairly powerful level editor that's at least on par with most PC games. While the game's light on actual strategy and heavy on micromanagement and instant to instant tactics, it's still not a bad choice for people looking for quick, RTS-style skirmishes on the PS3.

    The controls are decent, a little bothersome on occasions but the battle system is pretty easy to use and is a welcome change from what I'm used to.

    You’ve got a beautifully rich, engrossing sci-fi conspiracy story that suffers abbreviated cinematic story development. You’ve got a very cool RPG with futuristic upgrades, weapons and items that is hampered by a poorly designed interface.

    In the end, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record isn't a bad game by any means. It's just a game that pretty much everyone who's interested in Dead Rising's already played. While it'd be a good entrance point for new players, and it might be worth playing through with a friend, only the most fanatical zombie killers need to consider it.

    It's shallow, it's hollow, but it is a whole lot of fun. And it's only fifteen bucks for heaven's sake!

    The game delivers pretty much everything it promises, even if the lofty claim of 150+ minigames is a bit over-exaggerated.

    In the end, it gets a thumbs-up from this reviewer, and a guarded recommendation for platform gaming fans in general.

    DanceMasters is a fun and lighthearted alternative to Dance Central that can be as challenging as you want to make it.

    There is plenty of great racing and wrecking action, but the loose controls and last-gen graphics will probably keep this game from achieving the stardom it could have if they designers had gone the extra mile.

    While fun at times, Redemption quickly gets tedious and repetitive with its unforgiving, "win or die and try again" design. If you are a true masochist then Atari is ready to make you its little bitch.

    Zooo is not revolutionary in anyway; in fact, it looks a lot like other puzzle games I have played. However, the bright, fun packaging and portability of the game make it a should-buy for any fan of the puzzle genre and any parent taking their kids on a car trip.

    It’s actually quite fun in doses. Still, after the recent glut of A-1 quality releases, it’s hard to see Red Dead Revolver as a full-price competitor to "Ninja Gaiden," "Onimusha 3" or "Pandora Tomorrow."

    Simply designed and well suited to gamers who don’t mind a milder difficulty level, Mata Hari might not be one of the more challenging adventure games I’ve played, but it manages to be an enjoyable piece of historical fiction with excellent aesthetics and a fantastic soundtrack.

    Probably written with the back-to-school season and Halloween in mind, Warnings at Waverly Academy is a refreshing change of pace for Nancy Drew as, for once, we get to see Nancy in a school setting being a somewhat more normal teenage girl.

    A must-own expansion for tycoon-style gamers, especially if you bought RCT3. It improves the original game enough that you will love the changes, without having to fight the whole new learning curve of the menus again.

    There are just enough things wrong with this title that it feels like it needed another few months in development before being sprung on the public.

    A classic adventure that doesn't try to innovate yet still manages to deliver the goods.

    Just be warned that it’s not the easiest and most impressive game to get into. And as any EverQuest fan will tell you, it’s not the easiest game to stop playing either.

    While Double Dragon might not turn the heads of today’s youngsters, aging gamers will definitely enjoy the quick stroll down memory lane.
